I am trying to build the default project provided in IDF on my windows laptop. Building the project is taking too long >1hr. Please help me with any possible solution to reduce this time or any configuration changes or tools to be installed.

An hour does seem excessive. What kind of PC and OS are you using? The first time building a project it does have to build a whole bunch of standard ESP-IDF components, but that shouldn't take an hour. Do you have any other build environments that are comparable and are they much faster?
On my feeble Lenovo Ideapad (i3 process) it takes only several minutes to build a project from a full clean state.

The usual root cause in these cases is the antivirus SW or Windows defender. If you use the Windows tools installer then it will help set the rules for such SW. You can do it manually if you like (add exception to the antivirus SW).

I am using Dell Inspiron with Intel i9 9th Gen with Windows 10 OS.
Here is the build log that I am attaching which has taken ~66min and even this is not full clean build.
I do not have any other build environments specific to espressif, but other platforms with other IDE's I am able to build within a few seconds only.
